Anyone else finding it impossible to change diapers anymore?

My LO WILL NOT stay still during diaper changes. As soon as I put him down on the changing pad he flips over, I flip him back, he flips again. Omg!! It's a constant battle! I've tried keeping him distracted with toys, singing, playing peek-a-boo, etc, but he just thinks its so fun to flip flop.

My husband put the toy bar from his bouncy seat in between the cushions and he plays with the mobile while he changes his diaper. I frequently chase a lil naked butt across my couch. Lol. Gotta have a good strategy on the number 2 diapers. I stretch out his diaper and have the wipes pulled out and ready to go. I lay him on a receiving blanket so if he rolls over he won't get anything on my couch. The changing table was killing my back. I tried handing him toys and he almost dropped them into a #2 diaper. I won't do that again.

With poop diapers I get a death hold on his legs, even if he rolls they're in the air and I can flip him back. I've also started using the straps on the change table, tight. We took the electronic music part from his playmate and I'll let him hold that sometimes it works.
I'm glad I'm not alone in the gymnast baby, it drives me nuts.

The changing table was killing my back too b/c it was one of those that comes on top of the pack n play, anywhoo I usually sit on the couch and just place the changing pad on top or on the ottoman, and my lo Kicks his legs on my chest with super speed and super hard like in bicycle style!! at first, like everything else it was funny but now that he is getting bigger that shit hurts!! I have to give him toys so he can stay still and stop kicking.

Yes same here! and she gets so dramatic whining and hanging over the side and messing with things..She likes to open the wipes container and pull a bunch out, I end up changing her while she is standing or on all fours. I hope she settles down.

My son screams and flips then laughs when I get poop all over. I change him on the floor and try to to hold him down. I have the worst feeling I'm going to be chasing a naked toddler around everywhere!
